GREAT JOY!
The Labor Club and the La
dies Talk Temperance and
Woman's Rights
Another "Picnic" Promised Next Week
Thursday-Come and Bring
Your Wives.

Inc choir opened the regular Ihursuay
evening meeting of the Labor Club at
Meets Hall with song.
Mcdonald, being bsshful and absent,
Byron Millet took the chair.
Ed. Humphreys read an interesting es-
say on the women of the Bible and then
Millet read what Bebel had to say of them.
Twenty centuries thus joined hands and
the large audience applauded.
The Cheesewright boys newly told the
old parties in an original song that the
workers would "never vote their ticket
any more"
Miss L. E. Mccarthy then made the
speech of the evening, an eloquent appeal
for equal rights and defense of woman's
equality. Among other gems she said:
woman is the apex Of material life, the
only tangible link between this world and
the next, the divine principle in nature"
Mr.. Beeheimer was in favor of woman's
rights and full equality.
The following letter from Grand juno
tion was read:
GRAND JUNCTION, July 23.
Mr.. 7. G. Ashton. Denrsr::
DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER:-Having few
moments of leisure will give you some
facts in regard to to the progress we have
been making in the organization of the
Labor Party here. We have made a
house-to-house canvass so far of part of
the county and have succeeded beyond
expectation. As the press of the work on
the farm lets up shall proceed to make
a thorough canvass of the county.
| j. w. Bucklin and W. j. Miller, both
lawyers, have joined us.
On July the labor members of our as
sembly 1924 had celebration y and ball
at night. At the celebration we expressed
our Indignation of class legislation and
class rule.
While we are making our main fight
here on the land question all other mo-
nopolies are included. We believe that
the laws of man must be based on natural
laws; that all natural monopolies and in
/
should be carried on by the government
the people-fOr the people.
The prospects are good for a sweeping
victory in Mesa county. shall probably
visit Garfield and Pitkin counties this fall.
Will rustic for the ENQUIRER as soon as
our boys are in cash. We have been hard
run and do not expect any let up until
there is general strike against monop-
oily at the polls.
| Yours for the industrial emancipation
of man, CARL GLEEsE.
The Cheesewright brothers sang an
other new and original song.
B, G. Haskell spoke at length.
j. W. Mills advocated temperance and
pronounced the rum shop as the prime
cause of poverty, whereat Cochrane,
Cohn, Keifer and Culmsee jumped him
with pertinent argument eloquence and
sarcasm.
We regret we have not space for even
an outline of the debate. You had better
attend next Thursday night and hear it
continued as all the lights of the Prohibi-
tion Party are to be present and the plat
form will be free and the "war" will wax
strong.
If the boys keep on the way they began
last night there will be more than one or
ator developed before many months. 1t

western men we're not satisfied with this,
however, and appointed an agent in New

Made an Astonishing Change.

1t beats all what a lot of little things
there are that might be done to improve
this terrestrial ball, and that are not done
simply because nobody happens to think or
them. Somebody in the elevated railroad
cOmpany's management has had a happy
idea in that direction. When the roads
we're being built the makers of the iron
work painted the piece, as they always do
large castings, the deepest shade of red
brown. These were put up as they came,
and that somber color forthwith became
the standard hue of the elevated struc~
lures all over the city. Everything
about them, above and below, even to the
cars, was daubed with this gloom. Now,
an elevated railroad is not at best an en-
tightening thing to have in the street,
and it's gayety is the reverse of enllvened
by its being painted the darkest color that
can be painted short of black. Endless
complaint was made against the compa-
MES for cutting off the light from the
Streets and in the suits for damages
started against them by the hundred this
was the most grievous allegation.
Still nobody thought that it might
make difference if the structures were
painted light color, and for over ten
years the dark red masses of iron have
stood through miles of city streets, turn
ing them into veritable caves of gloom
even on the brightest days. A few weeks
ago, however, some rash innovator with
big head tried the experiment of cover
ing a little section of the road with paint
of a light gray. The change it made was
astonishing 1t was daylight after ten
years of night. Once started, rybody
wondered why in creation the the thing
hadn't been thought OF sooner, and steps
were promptly taken to extend the good
work. A mile or so of semi-midnight
caverns have already been transform ed
into lofty, light, iron-arched halls by this
simple magic of tic paint brush. -"Uncle

At the Average Summer Hotel.

Table d'hote at the average summer
hotel is most unpalatable and unsatis-
factory meal, the progress of which is
marked by a rattle and clatter, turmoil
and confusion and promiscuous hurley
hurley distracting to people who are the
least inclined to be nervous. Everything
is done in a hurry and without regard to
the commonest rules of etiquette. You
may be partaking of your soup, your ell
bow neighbor pudding and your vis-a-vis
watermelon. Soiled and partially con-
sumed dishes and food accumulate around
and about, everything ordered is served
simultaneously, you are urged to hurry,
and the whole scene is conducive to loss of
appetite and disgust. The food is badly
cooked slovenly served and not always
above suspicion as to quality and fresh
ness, and foreigners have good reason to
ridicule in their most satirical vein the
summer hotel table dhote.-New York

Fire on a Schooner.

About 80 last evening a smell of fire
was observed on the Pacific Naviga-
ton Company's wharf, and was found
to proceed from the fore hold of the
schooner Waioli. The discovery being
made at an early stage, the fire which
had broken out was quickly extinguished
by means of buckets of water. One OF
the first things to be rescued was a
broken lamp, which gave rise to the
theory that it had exploded and thus
originated the fire, but whether this is the
truth is uncertain. Some partly burned
clothing was taken out of the hold, and
the rafters below the deck were some
what charred. 1t is not known who was
on board at the time. An alarm was
Immediately raised and the three hose
companies were promptly on the scene,
but their services were not required. The
usual degree of excitement prevailed,
and crowds focked on board, but in less
than half an hour all was as quiet as
usual

The American Plan in London.

The change made in some of the hotels
!. st. Louis from the American to the so
lied European plan in connection with
ne heavy influx of visitors expected dur
ing the fall is interesting to visitor like
myself. Up to last year there was no
such thing as a hotel on the American
plan in London, though for the matter of
that there are very few on what seems to
be known here as the European plan. A
man goes to hotel, tells the clerk his
name-if there is a clerk-and dispenses
with the formality if there is not, has a
bedroom assigned to him, takes what
meals he requires at private table or in
a private room and when he leaves has a
bill brought him with such items as 'bed
and breakfast" dinner" "wine," tea"
supper" and so on, according to what he
has had, with an invariable addition i'll
the form of charges for attendance" No
one ever stops in hotel as in boarding
house, and if a man slept in hotel and
took his meals elsewhere, he would be
looked upon as too mean and contempti-
bic to have his bed made.
But American enterprise has given
London one or two hotels on a colossal
scale, with American ideas imported with
the style The most popular of these is
the Fifth Avenue" six-stOry building
on Holborn, with an elevator and
rotunda, which, although nothing to the
Southern or the Lindell, is huge wilder
ness compared with the orthodox London
hotel hall Americans patronize this and
a similar institution freely, but English
visitors to the capital, while they admire
it, give it a wide berth. l remember last
summer Cincinnati man locating HIM
self on the third floor and inviting con-
noisseurs to come and see the latest thing
in sewing machines, which he had brought
with him and which he kept and dis
played in his bedroom. Incredulous
Londoners focked in to get an excuse for
a Iide in the elevator, or Gift" as it is
called, and to see what manner of man it
could be who could permanently locate at
a hotel and make his bedroom also serve
as a show arlor.-English Visitor in

Average land Elevation.

Dana finds that the average hight of
the land above the sea level is
about 1000 feet, and that this would
probably cover the bottom of the sea to
the depths of 375 feet; so that, taking the
average depth at 1900 feet, it would take
forty times as much land as exists above
sea level to I'LL the oceanic depressions.
The mean height OF Europe has been
stated to be go feet Neitpoldt makes it
